Basically a suicide note

RIP Roy, we never knew you were so suicidal.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Another Boeing whistleblower has come forward with claims that safety and quality issues were ignored and concerns were dismissed by management.

The development comes after the Guardian spoke with workers at Boeing’s Everett, Washington plant, who said the factory was in “panic mode” as they stripped and repaired 787 jets flown across from South Carolina to be fixed.

A second whistleblower, 45-year-old Joshua Dean, who previously worked as a quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, died from an illness in April.

Santiago Paredes, another whistleblower, who worked for Spirit AeroSystems as a former quality manager, told CBS News in May that “it was very rare for us to look at a job and not find any defects”.

Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour also came forward earlier this year, issuing a stark warning about 787 jets.

In a statement to the New York Post, Boeing said it “takes very seriously any allegation of improper work or unethical behavior” and encourages employees to report concerns.
